Equipment & Resources Proper equipment is critical to the performance and results of TSCM sweeps. Simple equipment from spy shops and other low market security sources yields inferior results and usually can't detect much of anything. You stand a better chance of finding a bug with flashlight and a screw driver than with the stuff you can buy from mail order catalogs and other retail sources. TSCM Technical Services utilizes the best equipment available and utilizes it to its fullest extent. Nearly 20 years of TSCM service has given us the experience to know what equipment works well and what is smoke and mirrors. Twenty years of specialization also gives us the experience to know which technologies will work in what situation and which will yield questionable results. We thoroughly understand the systems we are testing and the equipment we use. We know the results we expect to achieve and know when something is a bit out of kilter, indicating that more investigation is necessary. Most importantly, we are fully aware of what any specific piece of equipment won't do; we know the limitations of the testing capabilities of all of our gear. Any good technician will know how to fall back on other testing methods and techniques to overcome limitations inherent in any piece of gear. We test and evaluate all aspects of the equipment we use. We make no assumptions. This is the best way to provide accurate and reliable service. We never entirely rely on the data and specifications provided by the equipment suppliers, nor do we presume the manufacturers' claims to be 100% accurate. Our instrument and equipment inventory includes top level products from major TSCM equipment manufacturers, electronic instrumentation suppliers, and other sources. This page will give you an overview of what we use if we work at your facility.
Radio Frequency Transmitter Detection. We use a computer controlled RF spectrum analyzer with frequency coverage from 20 kHz to 7 GHz. Besides using traditional
and standard RF transmitter identification techniques, special signal analysis techniques
allow us to identify and locate difficult to detect digital transmitters and a host of
other exotic modulation techniques. Click on the picture for more
information on our RF detection equipment capabilities.
Telephone Testing Techniques. Using telephone analyzers and other test instruments, we thoroughly evaluate all telephone
instruments and lines for a wide variety of eavesdropping devices. Additional techniques
let us detect and locate telephone taps located on cabling outside of the facility or
premises. Nearly twenty years of experience testing in a PBX environment have taught us
the real problems in protecting telephone switches from subtle manipulation for
eavesdropping purposes. Click on the picture for more information on our
Telephone Tap detection equipment capabilities.
Physical Inspection Techniques. We use nonlinear junction detectors on all sweeps to detect
hidden electronic devices. Nonlinear Junction Detectors locate semiconductor components
used in eavesdropping devices. Detectable devices include voice, pressure, and timer
activated radio transmitters, hardwired electret microphones, tape recorders and infrared
transmitters, to name a few. These all can be detected even if they are not operating at
the time of the sweep. Click on the picture for more information on our
passive device detection equipment capabilities.
Other equipment includes line amplifiers to detect room audio carried by building wiring and sensitive contact microphones to detect audio carried by structural building components and through ceiling areas and duct work. Cable and wire tracing products assist in the location and identification of telephone, fax and LAN wiring in the survey area.
If you would like to discuss in complete confidence how our services can prevent losses in your business, or if you would like to discuss any aspect of eavesdropping detection technology, please call or email.
As always, do not contact us from a telephone in the suspected area. Don't show your hand to the bad guys.
